+Sun Solaris Hints

+** Solaris 1.X is covered in the SunOS hints file. **

+Solaris 2.6, pthread_create() in -lc
+
+The Standard C library (-lc) contains pthread functions which
+are not compatible with <pthread.h> and are not useable.  The
+autoconf system does not detect this incompatibility nor
+attempts to resolve it.  Consequently, slapd/slurpd will not
+work correctly using out-of-the-box settings.  Slapd will
+report an error such as:
+       listener pthread_create failed
+
+To resolve this problem, the installer must specify the
+proper Pthreads libraries:
+       LIBS="-lpthread -lposix4"
+       ./configure
+
+to use OR disable threads: 
+       ./configure --without-threads
